Tears

So You Say Your Turning Twenty-One Years Old (Rap-Lyric) (Contest)
so you say
your turning
twenty-one years old
today

Hootie Hoo!
happy birthday

and you want
some advice
on the game
of life
so you don't
get played

okay! baby
you know
you just came
to the wrong
place?

so this is the
first thang
i would say

been over
touch your
knees

because
your about
to take
a real spanking

life isn't what
you may think

you'll reach up
you'll get knock down
and sometimes
you can only partially
stand
your ground

it will
only hurt you
more
than
it hurts
me

see
i had
my dream
flash right
before
my eyes

they left
so quickly
i didn't even
see
them die

if i had
scratched
my head
then something
would had fell
right out

and what would
it have said

find someone
smarter than you
and go
to a library
or two

read a book
on how
you'll need
a legal team

and an army
of witnesses
to surround you

there, there
boo
don't
be mad

yo!
i just
had to let
you know

put your mental fists
up
and bring
your A game

and get ready
to fight

because
behind every
smile
is

someone ready
to push
you out
of line!

with rumors
and lies
and mean
**** bullying

and lets
not forget
the best
for last
stealing
your
one of a kind
make you
rich ideals

so get a safe
and a lock
and a very
good key
tied around
a lawyer's degree
so someone
will have
your back



p.s.  go get 'em. ("go get them," and) never trust a smile unless its in writing! and than read the small print - so you won't get any surprises.
and never tell someone your secrets! no matter how friendly they are. my bills in the mail that will be ¢50. (50 Cent)
